@Lambchop Your Business Expenses are deducted in the year you claimed them, even if this gives you negative business income.
A Home Office carryover is different. It will be continued to be carried over until you are able to claim Home Office Expenses (which it sounds like you can this year).
It sounds like the carryover populated Form 8829, but if the same amount is shown on Lines 43 for 2021 carryover, it is not being applied this year.
If you moved in 2020 and indicated this was the first year using the new office, the carryover wouldn't be applied.
Make sure you indicated the % of Income 'earned from your home office'. If self-employed, this would be 100% (unless you have another office).
Since we can't see your return in this forum, you could try deleting your Home Office entries and re-enter them to see if this resolves your issue.
